Coastguard vessel, Port of Nelson

This is Nelson: Rain yesterday. Today, a cloudless sky, but a blustery wind. To paint this I had to find a sheltered spot behind a shed. Even so a freaky gust caught my palette when I put it down for a moment and flipped it upside down onto the pavers. Bother. It a took quarter of an hour, half a bottle of turps and a lot of paper towels to clean up the mess. All sorted in the end, and I think that the painting is worth it. It is the first painting of the second week of the challenge. What do you think?
